Marathon in Doom/Quake etc?

[Magos Flibble]

Might be a daft question but was there ever any fan made marathon related stuff in other games?

For example, Marathon maps remade in quake, etc. doesn’t have to be total conversions.

Just curious :). I’d love to play something akin to that if it exists.

Unreal Tournament has a bunch. From Unreal engine 1 to Unreal engine 4. Sadly most are PvP and do not have the campaign.

Semi related to Marathon, there is a mod call pathways redux for Doom 3

There's no shortage of remade stuff from Marathon in later engines. One of the best examples is this one.

Another example that comes to mind is Marathon Max an attempt to remake Marathon 2's deathmatch in Max Payne 2

There were also two separate attempts to remake in Unreal Tournament 1's engine

Marathon Resurrection fully remade M1's campaign and multiplayer

I saw somewhere that someone had made a few levels in the Doom engine. Looked cool!

[Magos Flibble]

Oh wow, these all look great. Ty very much.

A Doom mod called Sansara, I believe, made a mashup of Doom, Wolf, Duke and Marathon stuff as a cross-shooty multiplayer deathmatch thingamaboo, not sure if it adapted a lot of the levels though.

There’s a mod for UT-99/GOTY called “Marathon Resurrection”, that isn’t too bad for what it is. Also, there was a project called “Frogblast The Ventcore” that remade Marathon Trilogy maps for Unreal Tournament as well.

The latter can be found from these two links.

Besides Marathon Resurrection, Ken Levine seems to be a big Marathon fan and added subtle references to it in System Shock 2 & Bioshock Infinite.

Doom 4 & Doom Eternal even use Marathon's terminal system but make it portable, and the latter is named after the most popular Marathon fan WAD, which predates Doom Eternal by 7 years.

I got a whole list of comparisons to System Shock 2 & Bioshock Infinite here: https://lion-o-cyborg-iii.tumblr.com/post/719508496221093888/system-shock-marathon-comparison#:~:text=as%20Dr%20Insano.-,Act%207%3A%20Conclusion,-So%20there%20you

My Marathon Eternal & Doom Eternal ones aren't written yet and they're comparing both to a completely different game (Sonic 2006 specifically) whose plot (Marathon Eternal), level aesthetic & several monsters & set pieces (Doom Eternal) blatantly rip off.

Isn't that Quake Champions: Doom Edition?

The Citadel has hidden stages based of classic FPS games - one of them is the first stage of Maratthon Durandal, I believe.

There was also an unfinished attempt to remake Marathon 2 in Half Life 1

Samsara was different and predated QC:DE, each playable character brought their game's arsenal with them.

I know that the Roguelike Arsenal extension for the DOOM RPG mod used Marathon assets: https://doom-rpg-rla.fandom.com/wiki/MA-75B_Assault_Rifle
